This works on my machine. Up to kernel 2.6.11 I've used Rich Townsends spinlock patch. But afterwards i found a posting from Luming Yu in which he asked to try his patche which should solve this interrupt issue. And fortunately his patches found the way to the kernel-sources :-) Perhaps you should have a look at /drivers/acpi/ec.c. If there is something like setup("ec_burst= ... you may give this a try. regards and good luck Olaf ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Power Architecture Resource Center: Free content, downloads, discussions, and more. http://solutions.newsforge.com/ibmarch.tmpl
